Chapter 6
At 04:00 a.m. Jenny was asleep with a smile on her face and Jethro was talking to the nurse.
"They are going to be okay, aren't they?" Jethro asked the nurse for the tenth time in their 5min. long conversation.
"Yes, they are going to be okay, Agent Gibbs, they are both very healthy and fit so there is no place for worry!" the nurse answered a little bit annoyed.
"Ok, I just want to make sure everything was fine!" Gibbs defended.
After couple of minutes and a cup of strong black coffee, Gibbs returned to Jenny's room, only to find her awake.
"Hey! You are supposed to be resting!" he said playfully.
"Yea, I know, but I can't sleep!"
"Me either!" Jethro nodded in understanding.
"I'm scared, Jethro! If something happens to them I'm never going to be able to forgive myself!" Jenny sobbed.
"Shh...everything will be all right!" Jethro comforted her.

Meanwhile, Tamara and Christina were sleeping peacefully in the room they shared with 3 other babies. They were placed in double pink crib with purple flowers on it. The room was painted in pale pink and had couple more cribs. Then a shadow appeared above them and Christina started crying as she saw the dark scary figure of a blonde woman. Then they heard her say in a deep voice with a foreign accent "I'm sorry that you little angels have to pay for what your parents did!" And then the crying stopped.

Nearly an hour later, Gibbs' phone went off. He flipped open and said "Gibbs!"
"Sorry if I woke you up Boss, but I have something really important to tell you!" came Tony's voice.
"Split it out, Tony!"
"The woman that was driving the mini-van that crushed in Jenny, we run her photo trough every database we could think of, I mean Abby did, and we got an ID!" Tony said excited and a little bit worried.
"Who is she, DiNozzo?" Gibbs asked knowing that he wasn't going to like it.
"Her name is Tatjana Savanova, Boss! Ring any bells?" Tony said surprised when Gibbs stayed silent.
"No, who is she?!" Gibbs asked losing patience.
"You maybe never heard of Tatjana, but I bet you know her sister! Natasha Lenkov former…" Tony managed to say before Gibbs cut him off "Svetlana?!"
"Yes Boss! Any idea what she was trying to do?" asked Tony.
"Yea, I do!" said Gibbs he smashed the phone into the wall out of anger.
"What's the matter, Jethro?" Jenny asked surprised from his reaction.
"The woman that hit you was a Russian spy, she was Svetlana's sister!" Gibbs said worried.
"The note!" that was all Jenny could say.
"What note, Jen?" Gibbs said starting to get angry.
"Yesterday, while you were having a shower the doorbell rang and when I answered the door there was just a computer note saying 'WE NEVER FORGOT!' and never took it serious!" Jenny started to panic.
"The girls!" Gibbs said and a split second later he was running down the hall as fast as he could to the room his daughters were supposed to be sleeping.
He entered to find them in the crib. But when he got closer he realized that they were unusually pale. Then he immediately called the nurse to check them up. As soon as the nurse walked in the room she asked him to step out of the room, so he did.
After ten minutes helplessly sitting in the waiting room he saw the nurse come out of the room. From the look on her face he could see something was not right. He stood up so he could face her.
"I am terribly sorry, Agent Gibbs! We did everything we could to save your daughters but unfortunately we failed!" the nurse said with pure sadness reading in her eyes.
It took him couple of seconds to process the information, then he sat down in the plastic chair behind him a buried his face into his palms. He didn't know what to do. He was lost. He was late. He failed to protect his newborn daughters just as he failed to protect Shannon and Kelly. He should have known. He should have prevented it. But he failed. God damn you Jen, you should have told me about that note earlier he thought.
The next thing he knew, he was going down the hall back to Jenny's room. She was awake. Waiting for him. He quietly sat on the chair beside her bed and stared at her. Her eyes started filling with concern.
"What happened Jethro?" Jenny asked spotting the sadness in Jethro's steel blue eyes.
"They are gone, Jen!" Jethro said fighting back the tears that threatened to escape.
"How?" Jenny asked as the information was fully processed.
"They were suffocated!" he said "someone silenced them with a pillow!"
"Oh, my God!" Jenny started sobbing. If I told Jethro about the note they would have been alive. It is all my fault she thought.
After some time sitting in silence Jethro stood up and headed to the door and as he reached it, he heard Jenny's weak voice "Where are you going?"
"Somewhere where no one can find me!" and with that he walked out of the door.
